Hey AJ, 2 quick questions…

When inserting images in a page, is there a custom css class or style (edit image->advanced) I can add so there so the image has the cool border used for images in the portfolio?

Is there an easy bit-o-code I can put in my child theme so portfolio posts don’t show the “Posted Under: [Category Name]” area?

Thx very much!!

WPExplorer

There is no class because I apply that directly to the portfolio-items. You’ll need to create a new class.

You can just hide that portfolio area with css:

#single-portfolio-content #post-bottom{ display: none; }

My client has been up and running with your theme for a few weeks. There has been one WP update since then and while the theme is still operating beautifully I was wondering if you will be providing updates.

If so, is there a way I can ‘follow’ or ‘subscribe’ this theme to be notified when an update comes out?

Default-user

Thank you for the quick response. I was able to update the functions file using the first link in your reply. The second link in your reply referred to the filename admin/index.php. I am not locating an index.php in the admin directory of the Boxed theme … am I to assume then that I will not encounter that issue?

You didn’t mention a way to subscribe to future updates. Will I be notified via email simply because I am listed as a purchaser?

WPExplorer
  • Oh sorry, boxed is an older theme. So you would do step 2 just like normal and then instead of editing index.php just put the action in ”/functions.mediauploader.php” at the top.
  • Unfortunately Themeforest doesn’t have that system in place. I keep a changelog on the actual theme page when I make updates and update the little icon. Besides that much else. You would just have to check back periodically. Sorry ;)
  • I wish ThemeForest did send out email notifications…

No problem. I made the changes but found /admin/medialibrary-uploader.php instead of /functions.mediauploader.php. Is that OK?

I will try to keep an eye on the theme page for future changes.

WPExplorer

Oh yes that is correct. 8-)

Hi

Quick one – how do I change the black top/left hand borders to a different colour?

Thanks!

WPExplorer

Not sure specifically what section you are referring to. But sounds like a css edit. if you can help explain a bit better which border I could tell you what div you’ll want to edit. You should also consider using a browser addon like Firebug for inspecting your elements and see what needs editing – helps a lot in customizing/designing your site.

Default-user

Sorry – the black header, footer and left side bar which holds the menu is black, can you point me in the right direction to change the colour please.

Also, how do I remove/edit the ‘Photography by AJ Clarke’?

Thanks in advance.

WPExplorer

You should consider installing an addon line firebug to see what divs need changing.

- header: edit #header div

- footer: edit #footer div

- sidebar – change/remove image in #wrap

example:

#header{ background: #fff; }
#footer{ background: #fff; }
#wrap{ background: #fff; }

that would make them all white.

To change the string of text take a look in the theme options, there is a setting for that under the general tab.

thanks for the purchase, AJ

Hi again!

Okay, so I purchased this about a month ago and then “life happened.” ;) So I finally got around to installing it today, and Wordpress said: Installing the theme…

The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

Theme install failed.

Is this an update issue? Please reply at your convenience :)

WPExplorer

Hey there.

Please have a look here:

http://www.wpthemehelp.com/knowledgebase/stylesheet-is-missing-error-fix/

That will help you install the theme correctly.

Also, since it has been a month, please make sure to re-download the theme to make sure you are using the latest version.

thank you for the purchase, AJ

Hello

I have looked through the coding of the site and I must be blind; where can I go and remove that fade out content button when there is a background slider? I do not want that option visible. Love this theme and Office as well, have both and love the ease of use and easy edit of CSS .

Brad

WPExplorer

It’s in header.php, but you could just add some justom css to hide the button:

#hide-wrap {display: none }
Default-user

Awesome thanks that worked, I do not know why I did not just try that myself. Must be getting tired :)

One quick question in Office you added the function to be able to have the phone number or content above the social. I have added contact number with this theme and it looks great on my computer but is not centred on my phone.

I just added it to the header.php at the end: <?php $social_links = array(‘twitter’,’tumblr’,’dribbble’,’forrst’,’flickr’,’googleplus’,’facebook’, ‘linkedin’, ‘youtube’, ‘vimeo’,’rss’,’support’,’mail’); foreach($social_links as $social_link) { if(!empty($data[$social_link])) { echo ‘

  • ’; } } ?> Section It works fine but moves a bit to the left on my phone. Not a big deal but since the support is superb I thought I would ask, I love to learn.

    Thanks, Brad

    Take a look in css/responsive.css – this is where the media queries are so you can apply your custom responsive css. It’s likely a margin issue, but hard to tell without looking.

    thanks for the purchase! AJ

    Hi!

    Translating the theme I realized that there are some errors in the following files:

    404.php: Line 12, 'boxes' instead of 'boxed'

    404.php: Line 17, 'powered' instead of 'boxed' (Appears twice)

    includes/supersized-slider.php: Line 150 and 151, 'Boxed' instead of 'boxed'

    single.php: Line 25, comments_popup_link('0 Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); I wrote: comments_popup_link('0 '. __('Comments','boxed'), '1 '. __('Comments','boxed'), '% '. __('Comments','boxed'));

    loop-entry.php: Line 58, Same as above.

    Hope you can update!

    BTW awesome theme ;)

    WPExplorer

    Thanks for letting me know about these issue (starring at code forever I sometimes miss things) I really appreciate you letting me know, i’ll patch it up and upload tonight!

    Have you already fixed it yourself?

    also, thank you for the purchase!

    Hi,

    Please help! I have set up my portfolio as per instructions in the docs and each time I try to view my posts, I get an error message:

    Page Not Found: 404 Error

    www.lauraforest.com Unfortunately, the page you tried accessing could not be retrieved. Please visit the homepage.

    I have a solo show coming up and i really need my webiste to be functioning. What do you need from me to help me fix this? Thanks heaps – laura

    WPExplorer

    Sounds like a permalink issue, go to settings->permalinks and re-save your options to see if it fixes it.

    Hi this is very basic but how do you get the portfolio into the left sidebar menu? On the preview site, the “portfolio” tab in the left sidebar menu brings you to a page with the portfolio thumbnails and the post category menu on top. Do you need a plugin to show the thumbnails? Also is there any documentation that explains how to set up the theme like the preview site?

    Thanks

    WPExplorer

    Basically you need to create a regular page, then select the “Portfolio” template. That will create a page that shows all your portfolio items.

    To add to the sidebar, just go to Appearance -> Menu to setup your menu and drag that page over.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXvj-Ujp1tQ&list=PLC1964E0EB5AB3E1E&index=7&feature=plpp_video

    The theme does include documentation. When you unzip the download there is a folder called “Documentation” and an HTML document in there which you can open to help learn how to use the theme.

    There is also sample data included which you can import to your site:

    Can I add a plugin that plays a music playlist when my visitor opens the site with this theme? and is this compatiplbe with wordpress 3.3.1?

    WPExplorer

    There is no reason you wouldn’t be able to add a plugin for this. But I personally don’t know of any good plugins for adding music to a WP site as I am not a huge fan of that.

    Yes. The theme demo is currently using WP 3 .4. I suggest you keep your WP install up to date. In other words if you are using 3.3.1 you should consider updating.

    Hi AJ,

    Thanks for the quick response before. I have one more question. On my site (www.jakegolde.com) I created a portfolio using JPEG images. When I look at my portfolio page the images in the thumbnails are cropped (some thumbnails show only part of the images while others show a black line at the bottom). Is there a way to make it so the JPEG ’s adjust to the size of the thumbnail and therefore remove the black line at the bottom.

    Thanks again, Jake

    WPExplorer

    The thumbnails should be cropping..did you upload them before switching to this theme? If so you should download and run the “Regenerate Thumbnails” plugin” -> http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

    Thanks for the purchase, AJ

    Hi, I would like to use this theme to display art & posters from my for affiliate programs. Would it be pretty easy to apply a tab & link on the images that would take visitors to the affiliate’s site?

    Thanks

    WPExplorer

    Not sure what you mean by apply a “tab”.

    If you want images to link to an affiliate and not their actual post you could simply redirect the URLs…

    You might want to have a look at my “share” theme, because it comes with button options built-in…example: http://www.wpexplorer.com/premium/share/gallery/modern-rounded-growl-theme/

    thanks for stopping by, AJ

    9-11-12 Hi AJ, Boxed is great. I’m in the process of hooking up Boxed and another theme I use Akita to Fonts.com (Monotype) for type more type control. Do you have directions for doing this with Boxed? Thanks, Stephen

    WPExplorer

    Not really sure because I haven’t used Fonts.com before. I tried loading the site but it doesn’t seem to load ever, so I can’t really investigate it for you.

    Are you just trying to add a custom font to your site or are you using some sort of webfont with font-face?

    -AJ

    • Bought between 1 and 9 items
    • Has been a member for 3-4 years

    Custom fonts. I’m not using anything fancy I just want my Arial or whatever to look the same on all computers so I’m going to hook up a font service.

    WPExplorer

    Well, this theme uses some custom fonts by default. I’m not sure if the font service you will be using will override these, so you might want to remove them in style.css lines 12-13

    @import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Bitter:400,400italic,700);
    @import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cutive);
    

    If you do this it will render Helvetica Nue on apple products and then Arial for all the rest by default.

    Thanks. I already over road your custom fonts in the Custom CSS panel. maybe that will work. Would rather not fool around with your code.
